The pain of physical teachers of Bihar is visible. These teachers say that the government does not listen and the police use batons. What should he do in such a situation? Neither can he bring his mother's medicines nor can he pay his children's fees. One has to ask from the family members also to meet the household expenses. These teachers say that they are government physical teachers, but their salary is less than that of a peon. In such a situation, they feel ashamed even to go home. There is always a fear that the mother might ask to bring medicines or the children might ask for money for fees or other educational expenses.
The situation has become such that it is not clear what kind of government teacher he is? Similar reaction is given by all the newly appointed physical teachers and health instructors of Bihar. Bihar government gave them government jobs, but for the last two and a half years they have to survive on a salary of only Rs 8,000. Since most of the teachers are posted in schools far away from their homes. In such a situation, they have to work on rent. In such a situation, a major part of the salary is spent on room rent.
According to teacher Ramesh Kumar, voice is being raised continuously to remove salary discrepancies. For this they even reached the capital Patna several times, but the police chased them away with batons. Said that he spent lakhs of rupees on his studies. First did matriculation then intermediate and after graduation did B.ped. After passing STET in 2019, I waited for 3 years. Now joining is done in the year 2022, but the situation has become even worse. Said that there was celebration when I got the job. Sweets were also distributed in the entire village, but it has become difficult to earn food for two days from this job.
According to teacher Neelam Kumari, how can one run a household with a salary of Rs 8,000? Can't even buy children's clothes with this salary. Bhagalpur Union President Abhay Mishra said that the session of Bihar Assembly is going to start from 25th November. Their organization will once again unite and protest in Patna. He said that teacher representatives have already presented their concerns to the government and top leaders of various political parties many times, but till now they have been ignored. In fact, when they surrounded Patna Secretariat and JDU office on 26th July and 25th October 2024, they were lathicharged.
